Never Say Invisible: A Memoir of Living and Being Seen with ALS
About this audiobook
Jeremy Schreiber was on top of the world—athletic, newly married, successful. And then something went terribly wrong. In this moving memoir, he shares his journey after he received a terrifying diagnosis: ALS.
As the devastating disease robbed him of movement and speech, he was abandoned by his wife and betrayed by a society that shuns people with disabilities. But it’s not all doom and gloom. He found love, support, and a powerful purpose.
While fighting for his independence and then for his life, Jeremy gave his all to the ALS and disability communities. Never Say Invisible is his legacy gift. Smart, clever, and humorous, his story is a testament to what can be learned and achieved despite a terminal illness.
Jeremy died on October 29, 2021, before he could finish this memoir. Sandra Jonas Publishing is proud to collaborate with his parents, Fred and Ronnye Schreiber, to carry on his work.
